Reception

In a Vibe magazine interview,[4] Desire Thompson described Honestly this way:

Even after making history, the singer would rather test the limits of her resounding vocals than float comfortably on one sound. While listening to cuts from her forthcoming album honestly, there's an electronic-bluesy presence, a stark difference from her 2015 project. There's also bold stances on love throughout tracks like "change ya life" and "what you need," paired with joyous cuts "i can't wait" and the revolutionary Lecrae-assisted jam, "don't give up."
